Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Believers among the People of the BookAllah tells us that the pious scholars among the People of the Book believe in the Qur'an, as He says:الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَـهُمُ الْكِتَـبَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلاَوَتِهِ أُوْلَـئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ(Those to whom We gave the Book recite it as it should be recited, they are the ones who believe therein) (2:121).
